4 April 2020: Boeing Defence, Space & Security President and CEO Leanne Caret issued the following statement regarding Boeing's KC-46 agreement with the US Air Force:
"The Air Force and Boeing will make the KC-46 synonymous with aerial refuelling excellence. The agreement we announced takes advantage of new remote vision systems technologies that are orders of magnitude better than what was available when the program started. Generations of women and men in uniform will benefit from the advancements we are making in the science of visualization systems. Not only will these advancements benefit the KC-46 by preparing it for future capabilities like autonomous refuelling, they will also benefit other programs for years to come. The investments we continue to make in the KC-46 clearly demonstrate Boeing's commitment to Pegasus being the standard by which all future refuelling aircraft are measured."
